The Rao-Wu bootstrap variance estimation method is frequently used at Statistics Canada. It is simple to implement, the same formula applies to all estimators, including non-smooth statistics, and it enables the analysts to use the design-based approach. The method assumes primary sampling units are selected with replacement or the first-stage sampling fractions are negligible. We examine the properties of the Rao-Wu bootstrap variance estimator for a two-stage design and a variety of scenarios: different sampling methods, varying sampling fractions, several variables and estimators. We also compare these properties with those of the analytical variance estimators
